Beware of Aaron Glenn

[Walking Tall]

They have one of the worst owner’s in the league. Nobody will flourish under Woody Johnson.

Making this thread after they kept it close with the perennially mediocre Steelers in week 1 is at least 75% as silly as everyone coming in one week later to dunk on you about it. 
 

Like, I get what you’re saying, but you kind of asked for it. 

 

I should have made it in the preseason, since it was clearly about Aaron Glenn the person and not the Jets vs Steelers; at least to anybody who actually read it instead of just making a preconceived assumption about it. That being said, those reactions would have been exactly the same from the same people, regardless of when I made it.

And I don't exactly feel dunked on; it seems more like a loud, sweaty dumb guy bounced in a lay-up at the wrong end of the floor while I was out in the hall at the water fountain. 🤷‍♂️

Glenn looked out of his element out there. And the hoodie when it’s 80 degrees and sunny was not a good choice. He looked like he was drinking milk in San Diego.

I think what will hurt Glenn schematically is the man dependence. It’s how he likes to play and Allen has gone next level against primary man teams like the Jaguars or Lions last year. It really opens his running when everybody running with a WR

It also takes away the big advantage of the jets crazy lb and safety speed and physicality combo.

 

I was at the game and it was impressive how fast they ran stuff down, but when they have to drop and cover and face the other direction, the run lanes gape

Yeah the timing wasn’t ideal, since the first five or six replies were all about that day’s game. 
 

I have a hard time believing this sort of stuff about older defensive HCs in general. Combine that with the constant puke factory that is the AFC New Jersey squad and I just don’t think anyone but a generational QB talent in the draft is going to “turn it around.”

A black one too in the blazing sun. Unless the coaches have to wear certain apparel as mandated by the league.

Considering what a shltshow that place is and how wildly overrated I think the Jets roster is, I'm not close-minded to the idea that he could  get squashed in NJ and then find success elsewhere if somebody give him a second chance.

I thought Saleh was a bad hire when they made it and got roasted here for saying so.  He was a fake tough guy and that nonsense wears on people, especially when you're losing.    

 

Agreed on Saleh, but I just don't see that kind of loudmouth asshat quality in Glenn.

Never thought the Lions defense was any good under Glenn, not sure why he was even considered a HC candidate. Jmo. Must of had a great interview. 

[Matt_In_NH]

I thought Glenn sucked yesterday.  If I was a Jets fan I could have predicted a loss to the Bills but they looked disinterested and Glenn was terrible with tactical decisions.  Coming from the lions I expected more in terms of going for it on 4th but he looked like a coach out of the 90s.

Leadership. That is what his calling card was. Agree that his defenses in Detroit were not great.

 

 

Anyway.... beware of Aaron Glenn.... he might punt!

I remember a few years back when the Dolphins hung 70 on Denver everyone said McDaniel was special and to "watch out".

Remember that winter when you wanted to trade Josh Allen for Caleb Williams because you knew the Bills were about to go 6-11? 

When the most perfect example of Dunning-Kruger in the history of this forum throws 3rd grade snark at one of my observations, it just makes me wonder if I am even more on track than I thought I was.

It's ok buddy we all have a stinker take once in a while. You'll live, I promise

Don't feel bad. I thought that Rob Johnson was going to be a great quarterback, and that cutting Pat Williams for cap reasons wasn't that bad of a move.

Somehow he found consistency with Justin fields at qb. Thats impressive in and of itself. 

Fields was consistently bad again yesterday, Glenn must have really reached him.

[MikePJ76]

I still like Aaron Glenn.  I think he is a good coach.  Going to take time to change one of the worst cultures in the league.

 

i think the bigger takeaway is maybe the Steelers are not as good as the roster says they should be on paper.

He was an excellent corner and seems like a nice guy. I have no idea as to whether or not he will succeed but he sure has a big hole to climb out of.

Glenn coached scared yesterday.  Maybe he will get better but that was a poor coaching job on Sunday.   The Bills coasted in a place that is has been hard to win in.

You’ve made some points in here that may or may not turn out to be correct.   You’ve also undermined you’re own credibility by exposing that you were outlasted by a loud sweaty dumb guy who played on while you needed a water break.  Also, bring a bottle; those schools have lead pipes.

He has been around and with good coaches and good teams.  I feel confident he ends up a good head coach.   
 

all those guys that were around Parcells in New York and/or Dallas have been successful.  
 

fixing the jets has been a challenge to any one willing to try since 1969.  Parcells had them among the leagues best in 98 and then lost their qb in 99.  Rex Ryan somehow made a championship game there.

 

if Glenn has to try and rebuild with fields it may never happen.  I thought they had a shot to have a Dallas 2003 type season when they made the playoffs with Quincy Carter  a good defense and a tremendous staff.  I just don’t think the jets are as talented as that team.
